Interrogating the Art-Science Relationship

How do the arts and sciences interact in the twenty-first century, and what might they learn from one another? Interrogating the Art-Science Relationship brings together artists, scientists, and those who are both to explore contemporary issues in art-science discourse. How might artists and scientists draw from each other’s fields, or collaborate to employ elements of both? What are the implications of this exchange for art, research methodology, and teaching? Three panels addressed these questions from diverse vantage points: the relationship between neuroscience and the visual arts, BioArt and bioimaging, and using the arts in science communication. What might this interdisciplinarity might mean for art, science, and culture at large in our world today.

Panel 1: Visual Arts and Neuroscience

Panel 2: BioArt and Bioimaging

Panel 3: Art as Science Communication
